[CCing the regression list, as it should be in the loop for regressions:
https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/reporting-regressions.html]

Side note: a bug report just to the LKML (e.g. w/o any subsystem lists
or maintainers) is unlikely to gain traction; I considered adding the
DRM folks, but lets try one thing first:

Does this happen every boot or only sometimes? Could you maybe upload
the full dmesg from a boot where things worked and one where only the
text UI came up? It's just a shot in the dark, but maybe that will tell
us where the root of the problem might be.

If I did something stupid, please tell me, as explained on that page.

P.S.: let me add this to the regression tracking
